Creativity, analytical skills, personality traits, and innovation game behavior in the lab : an experiment
Bäker, Agnes; Güth, Werner; Pull, Kerstin; Stadler, … - 2011
Innovative behavior is mostly studied theoretically, e.g., in models of patent races, and empirically, e.g., by using R&D or patent data. This research, however, is only poorly informed about the psychological tradition of creativity research. Our study is an attempt to experimentally collect...

Innovation, Entry into Multiple Markets and Unobserved Heterogeneity
Pogrebna, Ganna - 2014
This paper considers an experimental market entry game, where the decision problem involves several heterogeneous markets and players have an opportunity to enter several markets simultaneously. We find that groups fail to coordinate on any of the multiple pure strategy Nash equilibria by...

How do judgmental overconfidence and overoptimism shape innovative activity?
Herz, Holger; Schunk, Daniel; Zehnder, Christian - 2013
Recent field evidence suggests a positive link between overconfidence and innovative activities. In this paper we argue that the connection between overconfidence and innovation is more complex than the previous literature suggests. In particular, we show theoretically and experimentally that...

Competition and innovation: An experimental investigation
Sacco, Dario; Schmutzler, Armin - 2008
The paper analyzes the effects of more intense competition on firms' incentives to invest in process innovations. We carry out experiments based on two-stage games, where R&D investment choices are followed by product market competition. As predicted by theory, an increase in the number of firms...
